The Body Bar is tomorrow at Cornell. It is a twelve team tournament featuring: Cornell, Virginia, Kent State, Bloomsburg, Army, Columbia, Lock Haven, Drexel, Buffalo, Ithaca, and a few from Minnesota. We will be without some of our starters this weekend but have eleven guys entered in the tournament. There should be some great wrestling this weekend. I am not entirely sure who is wrestling from any of these teams, especially Minnesota as they dual Cornell tonight and Penn State Sunday so I suspect them to only have a few back-ups in the tournament. The 141 pound weight class is shaping up to be the deepest and most balanced weight class in the tournament. It will be an exciting weekend of wrestling!
